Do not assume
Do not copy a care rule from another plant. Use this profile to adjust the general symptom framework before watering, repotting, fertilizing, or treating.
Plant-specific checks
Check whether leaves are only folding at night or staying limp all day.
Look for dormancy timing before assuming the plant is dying.
Move gradually toward brighter light if stems are stretching.
